The
program premieres were available to every television set in the
region because of a high-mileage media hybrid.

The shows appeared on both commercial and community stations.
The non-corporate entity produced the events, commercial TV greatly
expanded distribution.

Thus began an ongoing series of sane public interest programs
which generate both entertaining heat and more than a little light.

Please spread the word and consider contributing to the cause
online at ReSurge.TV.

You may also take the public option known as the U.S. Postal Service
and send a check or money order to ReSurge.TV, P.O. Box 10034,
Reno NV 89510.

Your contribution will help fund the distribution as well as ongoing
efforts at developing new media, including a regional, non-corporate
community radio station and the return of community television
to Reno-Sparks-Washoe.

You are present at the creation of what I hope can become a new
media model where the programming accurately reflects what's happening
on the ground and the media impact is powerful enough to forcefully
pass the message upward.
